The Maiden Voyage of the new boat was an incredible success. After the Hawks depressed the whole family with that crappy performance, we loaded up the boat and headed out to take a spin around the lake.
The motor is amazing. Fired right up and really it makes the boat scoot across the water. The kids loved flying down the lake with the motor wide open.
I stopped to let the boys get their lines wet and positioned myself in a way I could target some bass as well. Nothing came on tossing a big jig and a swim bait for me……but the boy ended up catching a nice stocker trout while we just sat and enjoyed the water. He ended up catching the fish with power bait close to the surface. FIRST FISH IN THE BOAT! Nice work son.
Overall the first time out was a success. There was plenty of room for the whole family and cruising the lake felt great. I am really looking forward to modifying this boat to what I would like. Can't wait tell the next time.
